After cursing Gao Qiqi several times, Shi Dayong let out a long breath. He knew that if there were no reinforcements, he would definitely be defeated this time. The rebels had too many troops and he had no chance of winning.
But he did not regret his decision to rush into battle. In his opinion, the emperor's soldiers should fight for the emperor. No matter how powerful the enemy was, he would bravely go through fire and water, even if he was wrapped in horse leather.
It's just that I have some regrets deep in my heart, just like dying before the battle begins. If I had given myself more time and some more soldiers, the outcome of this battle would definitely change!
Compared with those elites, I, as a gambler, am a bit inferior. Maybe I am too capable for the war to be like this. Also, how can a bad gambler shoulder the important task of saving the Han nation?
Shi Dayong laughed at himself, his mind returned to the reality in front of him, staring at the generals, preparing for the final battle.[
In this battle, success or failure is inevitable!
"By doing this, brothers can be considered as having done their best for the Ming Dynasty and being loyal to the emperor. If God does not bless us, there is nothing to say. From now on, we will just stay here together as lonely ghosts."
"general"
Shi Dayong's words were so desolate that all the generals were heartbroken and did not speak.
"We are all men, don't be such a bitch. Let's go back to our camps and prepare to fight the rebels to the death."
Shi Dayong waved his hand and signaled the generals not to stay by his side. The rebels were about to pounce. No matter what the outcome was, they would always display the prestige of the Jinzhou Army and let the rebels know what it meant to be loyal and brave enough to fight to the death for the emperor.
Cheese!
"General, don't worry, we will fight to the bitter end and live up to the emperor's army!"
The generals looked at each other, clasped their fists, and were about to go down to deploy. At this time, they heard the soldier shouting again, and his voice was not panic, but full of surprise.
"Look, look, our people!"
"What?"
Shi Dayong was startled. He followed the soldier's gesture and saw another group of soldiers and horses emerging from the dense forest where the cavalry had been hiding. Look at the flag, it's not the Ming army!
There were about several hundred people in the Ming army. They were raising flags in this direction while keeping the queue moving slowly. A few officers could be vaguely seen shouting and shouting, as if they were restraining their troops from marching.
Jiang Wanli looked carefully and saw at a glance that the Ming army was Wang Tiande who had come to surrender from Shahe. He couldn't help but wonder: before setting off, the general left them in Shahe, why did he follow them now?
When he heard that they were Wang Tiande's men, Shi Dayong was also puzzled. He didn't have a good impression of Wang Tiande. When they were discussing the preparations for the eastward expedition to Denglai, Wang Tiande said nothing and had a worried look on his face. Apparently he didn't want to follow the Jinzhou Army to the east.
Come.
Seeing him like this, Shi Dayong was angry. He thought that Wang Tiande was in Cao's camp and his heart was in the Han Dynasty. He didn't really surrender, but came to stay under his command temporarily because he was desperate. This kind of person is the most unacceptable, and he will betray him at any time, so Shi Dayong
Dayong then wanted to put Wang Tiande to death and devour his five hundred people.
But then he thought that this person had taken the initiative to surrender after all. He had already executed a thousand strong prisoners in the previous campaign. If he broke his promise to kill the surrendered general again, he would probably make the surrendering soldiers dissatisfied.
After much deliberation, he simply left Wang Tiande's troops in Shahe, and the Wuqiao scholar Zhao Xueqi was also left behind. Shi Dayong didn't like this upright and upright scholar, thinking that he was a snake and a mouse, only relying on one mouth to make ends meet, and there was nothing real about him.
It's useful to keep him by your side, so I might as well stay with them and deal with them after they return from the Eastern Expedition.
But he didn't expect that Wang Tiande actually led his troops to follow him, and the flag he raised was clearly asking Shi Dayong to fight. This made Shi Dayong greatly shocked, and he secretly thought that he might have missed the point and judged the gentleman with the heart of a villain.
.[
Geng Zhongyi also discovered this Ming army. He was afraid that the Ming army was coming to help, so he ordered a pause in the attack. After waiting for a while, no other Ming army appeared, and then ordered the attack again. However, the advance speed was much slower, and each battalion
The distance between them was extremely tight, and it was clear that they did not give the Ming cavalry any opportunity to take advantage of it, and they wanted to solve the problem in one battle.
After Wang Bu arrived, Shi Dayong discovered that Zhao Xueqi was also in the crowd, looking at him with a proud face. On the contrary, Wang Tiande's expression was calm, without any fluctuations.
"General Wang Tiande is late in rescuing me. Please forgive me, general!" Wang Tiande stepped forward and gave Shi Dayong a military salute without being humble or condescending. Most of his soldiers looked indifferent and showed no enthusiasm for the Jinzhou Army. They looked like soldiers from two families.
Like a horse.
"Ever since the general came from the east, it has been inappropriate to hold such a humble position. We were originally rebellious, and General Meng did not give up recruiting us. Anyway, it is time to change our minds and serve the imperial court. How can we stay in the rear and eat the royal food for free? How can we have peace of mind. Therefore.
After discussing with Mr. Wang Qian, I set off camp to pursue the general. I hope to fight the traitors under the general’s command and atone for my sins. I hope the general will forgive us for disobeying orders!"
After saying that, Zhao Xueqi suddenly raised his head, pointed at the rebels arrogantly, and said in a loud voice: "Thieves, I, Zhao Xueqi, are sworn in with you! Even though I am a weak scholar, with the strength of a chicken, I will be under the banner of my general today.
, fight with you!" He pulled out the sword from his waist with great enthusiasm, but he didn't know if his sword could kill people.
The rebels on the opposite side were still more than a mile away. How could anyone hear clearly what Zhao Xueqi was saying? But obviously, Zhao Xueqi's words were not meant for the rebels to listen, but were entirely meant for Shi Dayong.
Sure enough, these words were very effective in Shi Dayong's ears. Shi Dayong was very moved and felt that he had misjudged the person. Zhao Xueqi was indeed sincere and Wang Tiande was also a good man.
The battle is about to begin. Although I don't know how effective the five hundred men from the royal army are in combat, they look much better than the captured soldiers of my newly-built second infantry battalion. With the addition of these five hundred fresh troops, they may not be defeated.
He nodded, looked around at the royal soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. If you survive the disaster this time, I will help everyone get a better life in the future!"
Hearing this, Wang Tiande and his subordinates had not yet reacted. Zhao Xueqi was extremely excited. His body trembled, and his face showed the gratitude that a soldier died for his confidant. He choked with emotion and said: "If the general said this, I will wait for you."
It’s worth dying!”
In the excitement, he did not forget to give Wang Tiande a slight tug. The latter was a little disgusted with his affectation, but he couldn't point it out, so he had to bow forward and said: "The last general is an official and a soldier, and being a thief is forced.
Now that I have made my decision, I will no longer be half-hearted, and I am willing to follow the general and fight to the death with the traitor army, and advance and retreat together!"
